I generally dislike adding library dependencies to Emacs, even for libraries on which we already depend transitively. So, there has to be a very good use case for it. Currently, I don't see such a use case, so I'm not interested. Implementing an FFI would of course make it unnecessary for you (or anyone else) to convince me first, so I encourage you to work on the FFI as a first step. Stefan
